Intro:
N.C
You have sixteen new messages
First new message:
Emaj B
Why do I even bother calling you
E G#
I've called you sixteen times today
E G#
I know you've seen the line
E G#
So stop ignoring me!
Verse 1:
Emaj Bmaj E G# E G# E G#
I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Emaj Bmaj E G# E G# E G#
Now you've called me up again to remind me of the ways I've fucked up
Emaj Bmaj
So then I'll just take all the blame
F# G#
It all just feels the same
E G# F# G#
And we move on
Emaj Bmaj
Then I screw it up again
F# G#
Are you noticing a trend
E G#
Should I go on?
F# G#
So I said
Chorus:
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could be everything you needed
Emaj Bmaj G#
You could look to be someone else
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could try and abridge the distance
Emaj Bmaj G#
You'd be thinking about yourself
E B G# F# E B
It's the way you want the world to be
G# F#
It's the way you want the world to be
Verse 2:
Emaj Bmaj
I'm the sinner you're the saint
E G#
You will always have your way
E G# E G#
Will you let go?
Emaj Bmaj E G#
But when a cynic and a snake come together
E G# E G#
It could take a miracle
Emaj Bmaj
But it only lasts so long
F# G# E G# F# G#
I know it won't be long 'till I screw up
Emaj Bmaj
Could we start it all again
F# G# E G#
And go back to when we were both wrong
F# G#
'Cause we're both wrong
G#
So I said
Chorus:
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could be everything you needed
Emaj Bmaj G#
You could look to be someone else
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could try and abridge the distance
Emaj Bmaj G#
You'd be thinking about yourself
E B G# F# E B
It's the way you want the world to be
G# F#
It's the way you want the world to be
Bridge:
Emaj Bmaj G#
And it always seemed too perfect to be true
F# Emaj
There's nothing perfect about me and you
Bmaj G#
And I tried to see the best
F#
But I saw right through you
Emaj Bmaj
And I know I could be better
G# F#
But you won't let me forget
Emaj Bmaj G# F#
That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head
Verse 3:
Emaj Bmaj F# G# E G# F# G#
You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement
Emaj Bmaj F# G# E G# F# G#
Now I'm walking out the door like all the times before guess I fucked up
N.C.
So I said
Chorus:
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could be everything you needed
Emaj Bmaj G#
You could look to be someone else
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could try and abridge the distance
Emaj Bmaj G#
You'd be thinking about yourself
E B G# F# E B
It's the way you want the world to be
G# F#
It's the way you want the world to be
Emaj Bmaj G#
I could be everything you needed
Emaj Bmaj G# E
